6 | | Utopia in Four Movements |
 From the director of the Oscar nominated The Weather Underground, Sam Green, and Threnody Ensemble co-founder Dave Cerf, comes a rare, one time (or two, actually, since their MIFF performances will be in Waterville and in Portland), mind-engaging multimedia experience and a documentary like no other. The subject under investigation is unified idealism, utopia’s root source, and its foundering status in today’s culture as we stand on the precipice—or the pit?— of the 21st century. The four parts of the film are designed as individual and interchangeable components that illustrate the utopian concept: a history of peace-inspired Esperanto, a meditation on the world’s largest shopping mall (screened in conventional form at MIFF last year), the undying optimism of an American exile in Cuba, and a World’s Fair time capsule buried more than 70 years ago... more & buy tickets
| | Vapor Trail (Clark) |
 From John Gianvito, whose The Mad Songs of Fernanda Hussein and Profit Motive and the Whispering Wind have previously knocked out MIFF audiences, comes a bold and major new film. “In charting the devastating consequences of toxic-waste pollution from Clark Air Base in the Philippines – and especially the negligence of the occupying U. S... more & buy tickets
| | Visions: Short Films Showcase (featuring Cat Window, Manuelle Labor, Slap the Gondola!, Come to Know, Table 7, Prayers for Peace, Tribeca) |
 An experimental short film about two indoor cats and what they see out of their second floor apartment window. Alone in their home, the

| | Voices Unbound: The Story of the Freedom Writers (and Closing Night Ceremony) |
 Voices Unbound is the galvanizing journey of a group of 150 at-risk youths from Long Beach, California, who, in the mid-1990’s, inspired by The Diary of Anne Frank, learned to rise above their circumstances by writing their own stories. If you’ve seen the Hilary Swank-starring Hollywood film Freedom Writers, you may think you know the tale of Voices Unbound, or that you’ve seen the emotion-stirring version. But you haven’t... more & buy tickets
| | Welcome to My World |
 Shot on the coast of Maine and in the streets of New York City, Welcome to My World follows two groups of American teenagers from disparate walks of life, and what happens when they come together. The film tracks high school students from inner-city New York and rural Maine—Trenton, on Mt. Desert Island— as they participate in Operation Breaking Stereotypes, an exchange program that aims to replace the seeds of prejudice with real life experience... more & buy tickets
| | Wheedle’s Groove |
 The story of Seattle’s forgotten soul and funk scene of the ‘60s and ‘70s, Wheedle’s Groove is a total gas in large part because this unheard music just RIPS! 30 years before grunge music put Seattle on the map, late 1960’s groups like Black on White Affair, The Soul Swingers, and Cold, Bold & Together filled airwaves and packed clubs every night of the week. Many groups started to receive widespread attention with invitations to perform on national television and collaborate with mainstream acts. Just as many of the groups were on the verge of breaking out, the fickle public turned its ear to disco, and Seattle’s soul scene slipped into obscurity... more & buy tickets
| | Wild River |
 A jaw-droppingly gorgeous, restored Hollywood little-known masterpiece, Elia Kazan's Wild River was shot on location in the wilds of Tennessee in 1960. “The protagonist (Montgomery Clift) is a young New Dealer in the mid ‘30s, dispatched from D. C... more & buy tickets
